Publication Matters 245

Wuereas, According to the new series, the magazines known
as the Lutheran Guide and the Young Lutherans’ Magazine may
become superfluous; therefore be it

Resolved, That Concordia Publishing House be authorized, in
the event that the graduated series of magazines becomes a reality,
to discontinue the publication of either the Guide or the Young
Lutherans’ Magazine or both.

7. Synod should be highly gratified over the fact that our
Sunday-school series enjoys a very wide circulation, not only in
our own Missouri Synod circles but even beyond the boundaries
of our Synod; and yet. it must be deplored that an appreciable
number of our own congregations use privately published Lutheran
or even sectarian Sunday-school material; therefore be it

Resolved, That Synod urge all congregations through their
officials to use our own Concordia Publishing House Sunday-school
series.

8. Wuereas, The latest venture of the Publishing House to
furnish inexpensive devotional booklets has proved a phenomenal
success; therefore be it

Resolved, That Synod urge an even wider distribution of these
devotional booklets.

9. Your Committee has examined the condensed financial re-
port of Concordia Publishing House, submitted as a supplement to
Memorial 601, and recommends its adoption.

Action of Synod: These resolutions were adopted.

Committee 11 also submitted the following paragraph, on ap-
preciation of the faithful services of Manager E. Seuel, which was
adopted and acted upon:

We ask Synod to remember how deeply it ought to appreciate
the safe managing of the large business interests of Concordia
Publishing House in these troublesome times by our faithful
manager, Dr. E. Seuel, and show such appreciation of his thirty-
one years of efficient service by a rising vote of thanks.
